Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Layman's Face Is Strange
"I'm looking at people on South Street."
He Liudao: "Let's go to South Street to find him." ”
Soon, the four of them rode fast horses towards South Street.
When I came to South Street, there were dozens of people surrounded in front of the hexagram stall of the True Xuan Daoist, who seemed to be waiting for the True Xuan Daoist to tell his fortune.
"Sixth brother, do you think you can catch the murderer this time?"
Looking at the true Xuan Daoist who was fooling the people with his words, Su Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, in this world, fortune-telling and looking at the appearance is not nonsense, but when it comes to seeing three lives at a glance and judging one life with one word, it is just the boasting of those physiognomist hexagram masters.
"The true Xuan Dao chief's physiognomy technique is extremely proficient, and there is no inaccuracy in the fortune and misfortune, with the help of the true Xuan Dao chief, there should be hope to catch the murderer."
He Liu said calmly, although he himself felt that this time it was most likely a bamboo basket to draw water, but he did not damage his morale.
"Hopefully."
Hearing He Liu's words, Su Hao also knew that he didn't have much hope, but this is also normal, the Yellow River has not been diverted now, the sea outlet is in the south of the Yangtze River, it is the main artery leading to the south of the Yangtze River in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan, and there are countless ferries on both sides of the Yellow River, and there are thousands of ships coming and going every day, and there are countless merchants.
No matter how powerful the true Xuan Dao is, how many people can be seen in a day, not to mention that there are water bandits and black-hearted boatmen on the Yellow River, and there are unjust souls and water ghosts who pull people to die for them under the river.
On the other side, after seeing Su Hao and the four of them, the True Xuan Dao Chief also put away the hexagram stall and persuaded the people to leave.
"The monks are waiting."
Coming to the four of them, the True Xuan Dao Changji made a salute.
"The True Xuan Dao Elder is polite."
He Liu smiled and said, "I have to trouble the Dao Leader next." ”
"It's the business of the poor."
The True Xuan Dao Chief smiled, but when he saw Su Hao, the True Xuan Dao Chief suddenly sighed lightly: "The face of this layman is so strange." ”
Hearing the words of the True Xuan Dao Chief, Su Hao's heart sank, but he still smiled and said, "What do the Dao Elders mean by this?" What's wrong with the physiognomy below? ”
The True Xuan Daoist looked up and down for a long time, and after careful consideration, he spoke: "If the face of the layman is not wrong with the poor road, it should be a portrait of early death, and he should have died a few years ago, but now the layman is still alive, and from the face of the layman, there is only the image of the past, but the future is not visible. ”
"The Taoist chief laughed, the kid is just a left Dao warlock, how can He De let such a master risk the sky to send the kid to change his life."
Hearing this, Su Hao frowned, and said coldly, he didn't expect that the Taoist priest in front of him was really capable and could see the problem from his face.
However, he didn't worry too much, there were more ways to change his life against the sky in this world, and no matter how great Zhenxuan's ability was, it was impossible to guess that he had crossed over, and there were many things like taking away and reincarnating in this world.
"It seems that the old Taoist is dizzy and misguided, don't blame the layman."
Hearing the coldness in Su Hao's words, Zhen Xuan smiled awkwardly, he was just curious before, but he didn't have the idea of making a feud with Su Hao, not to mention that Su Hao had already made it very clear, he was a left-handed warlock, and he was not a person from their Taoist family, and if he pursued it again, he would have a grudge.
Soon, a group of five people rode out on a fast horse, this time the destination of the five people is Mengjin, Mengjin is on the side of Luoyang, from Luoyang to Guide Mansion this section of the Yellow River waterway is the most merchants, want to check, only from Mengjin to check, and then a little bit of exclusion.
………
Zhangjiakou Fort, Fan's family.
"Second brother, is there any news from all over the country that little miscellaneous news?"
In the lobby, Fan Yongdou flipped through the account books, as a smuggling family, he personally handled the most critical account books in the family.
"Not yet."
Fan Yongcheng, who was standing on the side, shook his head: "All the major factions on the rivers and lakes did not accept the reward order of our Fan family, only the small and medium-sized gangs in some places took it, but those gangs were not very active, and it is estimated that they just took it with the mentality of luck." ”
Although the Fan family's reward for silver is not small, there are 30,000 taels of silver, but for the major sects on the rivers and lakes, 30,000 taels of silver is really not a big deal, and people will not mobilize the crowd to find someone who doesn't know where for 30,000 taels of silver.
And those small and medium-sized gangs are just taking it with the mentality of trying their luck, after all, Da Ming is so big, the ghost knows where Su Hao will run, for an uncertain reward, spend a lot of money to find someone, and the mentally retarded will do it, at most, they will take the reward order, and then let the people below pay a little attention.
In this case, unless Su Hao really did something earth-shattering, they would not want to find someone in their lives.
"Tell the people below to stop issuing a reward order, and if anyone finds Su Hao, notify me again."
Hearing this, Fan Yongdou sighed, he just couldn't swallow that breath when he issued the reward order, just with a reward order, he wanted the people of the world to help him find Su Hao, it was purely a pipe dream, and it was almost the same to spend money to please, but Da Ming is so big, he really spent money to ask someone to find it, and he couldn't stop it for a million taels of silver.
"Yes, big brother."
Hearing this, Fan Yongcheng nodded.
After a pause, Fan Yongcheng said again: "Big brother, what should I do with the offerings in the capital this year?" ”
"What do the clan elders say?"
Fan Yongdou said calmly, if they didn't do a good job in the capital, they would have been cold a long time ago.
"The clan elders said that in the past two years, Wei Zhongxian, a close attendant of the Son of Heaven, has shown signs of gaining power, and asked us if we need to make friends in advance."
After being silent for a while, Fan Yongcheng said: "In addition, at the end of last year, Zhang Heming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has already sent a message. ”
"Reduce Zhang Shangshu's offering by half, and then take 30,000 taels of silver from the family treasury and send it to Gonggong Wei."
After thinking about it for a long time, Fan Yongdou said that if he wants to stay in peace on this side of the frontier, the incense of all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods must be burned enough, otherwise the Fan family may be gone one day.
The benefits of smuggling are huge, but it is not something that a single Fan family can monopolize, to put it mildly, their Fan family is just working, and they only take small heads, and the real big heads are those big people in the capital and those generals in Liaodong.
After a pause, Fan Yongdou continued: "This imperial examination, how will the clan elders arrange it?" ”
In the past, the Fan family had conflicts with some officials with no background, relying on the large number of contacts made in Datong Mansion, the Fan family was almost invincible, but this time he had a conflict with Zhang Jiatao, but the reality slapped him hard.
Any connections are fake, in the eyes of those big officials, the Fan family has always been a businessman who can't be on the stage, and people don't mind reaching out to help for the sake of the silver.
